Writing from Nantucket, Massachusetts.
On Thursday morning, the president and first lady visited Massachusetts for their usual Thanksgiving routine. They handed out pumpkin pies to police officers, firefighters, and medics in Nantucket and also made calls to members of the armed services. This has been a tradition for their family since 1975.
During a rainy day on Thursday, many people stayed indoors on the island. However, President Biden seemed happy as he visited the Nantucket fire station. He greeted and exchanged baseball caps with the officers on duty while walking with his grandson Beau.
The president spent some time thinking about the current political atmosphere in the United States and encouraged Americans to stay true to their values, avoid overly pessimistic stories, and be mindful of the media they consume.
After observing recent public opinion polls showing that most Americans are worried about the country’s direction, Mr. Biden suggested that this could be due to a decrease in viewership for traditional news outlets and overly negative coverage on television.
He suggested that the reason for that could be because when you watch television, most of the news is negative.
Despite urging Americans to stay positive during uncertain times, the president acknowledged that President-elect Donald J. Trump may face challenges ahead. He suggested that Congress may push Mr. Trump to adjust some of his plans and also subtly expressed disagreement with some of his successor’s recent proposals.
